If there was a perfect time for Google to launch an attempt to penetrate the world of high-end smart phones, it would be now. Apple Inc. is reportedly struggling with the status quo of their profits, despite of the recent release of the iPhone 7.

Samsung, on the other hand, is trying to survive as the company is bombarded with trust issues because of the exploding Note 7 cases. With this in mind, Google Pixel XL might be a strong contender in the smartphone competition.

Google Pixel XL: Newbie But Goodie?

As with any new smartphone released in the market, Google Pixel XL has been receiving a lot of apprehension from skeptics and critics. Some even taunt Google and say that it should stay within the lines of creating innovative features to the internet.

However, Google Pixel XL pushed through and is now Google's latest offering targeted to compete in the category of high-end smartphones. With the clean track record of Google in all its subsidiary companies and products, the public is excited for what Google Pixel XL has to offer.

Google Pixel XL: Goodbye Nexus?
